Holocaust denial

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-01 13:18

I have been reading a lot of stuff recently, some of which has disturbed me.  There are a lot of people out there who say the Holocaust, that horrible time in history they taught us about in school never really happened the way they say it did. 

They cite how there's no way camps like auschewits(sp?) had the capacity to eliminate as many people as they said were held there.  They talk about how zyklon-b wasn't really powerful enough to kill anyone, and those showers apparently outfitted with this chemical were actually used for a delousing procedure.  They talk about how it doesn't make any sense to trick people into going to their death when you've already got them in your custody.

I don't know man; holocaust deniers seem to have information to back them up, all kinds of evidence, to which the holocaust sympathizers only have name calling and questioning the motives of those who deny it.  I am someone who really would like to believe that the holocaust happened, if only so that I can believe there isn't a vast conspiracy behind it.  So, any holocaust sympathizers with a good rebuttal to what they're saying?

Hey all.  >>1 here.

In the absense of a great ability to do research on my own, I have to analyze the facts that are available to me.  This has lead me to take everything the holocaust deniers have been saying with a whole damn lot of skepticism.

With all this shit that doesn't make sense (6mil bodies should have been visible from space, nevermind the fact that it was all done apart, the argument where you talk about Nazi records, OF FUCKING COURSE there'd be no records that survived, even if they were kept in the first place; when the nazis realized what was going on they would have destroyed them) uncited sources, and just plain hearsay, they've really weakened their argument.

I think that what really destroyed their credibility for me was when the holocaust deniers started trotting out their belief that jews want "revenge," as a people, or that Jews had declared war on Germany.  WTF?  You guys is dumb.

I can now say that the reason I think that there hasn't been a proper rebuttal to all the stuff that's been posted here and elsewhere on the intarweb is because serious historians and intellectuals won't give them the time of day.

I'll just stand by and wait for more people to get suckered into your movement, and then we'll see this shit destroyed in earnest as people start to realize how stupid people can be.

Good day.
